Comparison Of Some Technical Indicators In The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, Gin Hoe Lim Jan 2001

Comparison Of Some Technical Indicators In The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, Gin Hoe Lim

Student Works (2000-2009)

Technical analysis is both highly controversial and widely used; some practitioners claim that it is profitable. They say that historical technical figures, such as the past behaviour of the stock's price, give them foresight into future price movements. Many others, however, claim that the practice of looking at past technical data to help predict the future is outlandish and most academics fall into this group. More and more writers are beginning to question whether technical analysis may serve as one tool available to those who want to trade profitably in the market. And this is the reason for this project …

A "New" Theory Of Management, Andrew Sikula Sr., Kurt Olmosk, Chong W. Kim, Stephen Cupps

Management Faculty Research

This article presents a "new" theory of management for the new millennium: "new" not because singularly the ideas are recent, but because the combination of these older ideas collectively is novel.

This article discusses employee relations ethics (ERE) in terms of an ERE credo and a set of assumptions. The modern millennium mission states that all organizations (public and private) should primarily be employee centered, not owner or administrator controlled, customer or client …

Faculty Publications

When we see teenagers do things that are seriously wrong or illegal we often ask, “Why did they do such a stupid thing?” “What in the world were they thinking?” In fact, teenagers do many stupid things and sometimes it appears they were not really thinking. But when we examine what goes through their minds it is easier to understand why they sometimes act dishonestly. We also learn that the excuses teenagers make for being dishonest are not much different than the rationalizations used by adults.

To What Extent Can Knowledge Management Systems Build And Reinforce Consensus Around Initiatives For Change?: A Self-Reflective Analysis Of Professional Practice, Guy A. Duczynski

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

This thesis reports on my attempts to 're-align' the purpose, behaviour and underlying culture of a large military organisation through heuristic, self reflective enquiry - to 'find its future' - with and through its people.

Whilst I cannot claim total success, I have made new and valuable discoveries in knowledge elicitation and methods of integrating the views of a large number of people to 'build and reinforce consensus around initiatives for change'. In the process …
